Creating One-Way Immersion

Since 2008, I have studied the development of Spanish, French, and Chinese one-way immersion schools in the Midwestern United States. Working in partnership with teachers and school leaders, we have asked a series of questions designed to improve their practice. Graduate students and colleagues have designed many of these projects. Together, we have explored the following:

the development of parent engagement policies and parents’ involvement in creating language schools (Dorner, 2015)

the evaluation of school climate across a network of language immersion schools
